A Torah scroll is about the size and weight of a baby, and takes close to a year's labor by a highly trained scribe to create. If you had something that big and that expensive, I suspect you'd put it in a nice box to protect it. That's what the ark is. It's called a holy merely because it's used to hold a sacred text (or texts, since most synagogues want to have at least two Torah scrolls -- some services go more smoothly with multiple scrolls).
